Housing should be central to Ireland's EU Presidency. At a time of record rents and record house prices, silence is not a strategy. Europe needs coordinated action to tackle the housing crisis.

1 in 7 households are in energy arrears, and prices are going up again. Meanwhile, huge amounts of renewable energy are being wasted. That's where the Prevention of Energy Wastage Bill comes in, by providing this surplus energy at low cost to cut bills. It's time to act to reduce costs.

This is the sort of stuff now that we're Presidents of Europe we should be able to sort out .

At least they're consistent, this fellah didn't care about housing either.

923 children died at Bessborough Mother and Baby Home between 1922 and 1998. Only 64 have known graves. Utterly shameful decision by Cork City Council to build apartments on the site. More erasure of the historical mistreatment and shaming of women in Ireland. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/soci...

140 apartments are planned for the site of a mother and baby home where 923 children died

Not to sound like my late old man , but at some point the GAA needs to own the blight of underage drinking around the North Strand and the North Inner city before games in Croke Park . Every summer is worse than the previous one.

27,000 households have been issued eviction notices since the Housing Minister took office. Yet the Tánaiste claims that most renters are covered by a no-fault eviction ban. Meanwhile, there were 17,447 people living in emergency accommodation last month. The numbers don't lie: govt are failing.

I thought kick off was later and I’m sad I somehow missed it but that’s a great result for Scotland.

It's courageous for any victim of sexual abuse to go to trial, but when your abuser is a man as powerful as Jeffrey Donaldson, it is on another level. Solidarity to those women today
